Killed With Dynamite.

Some parties who live 15 or 20 miles
down the river, who were in town yes
terday, reported that they saw great
quantities of dead fish along the river
banks that had evidently been killed
with dynamite. In places several
were found together and the stencil
emanating was unbearab1e. IT is be-
ieved that there are persons, and per-
haps parties, on Black River who are
making q business of killing fish in
this manner which is not only contrary
to all law, but decency as well. We
believe 1T is misdemeanor to kill fish
in this manner ifnot felony. Fit be
true that these dead fish were killed
with dynamite, and 1T seemed quite
probable, it will not be long before
Black river will be depopnlated Of
the finny tribe, and fishing will be no

! During the afternoon we had been
running for several hours near the
coast..of Ireland and more farbidding,
lonely looking land it would be difficult
to imagine. 1t gave no promise what
ever of the wonderfully beautiful
scenery in and around this romantic
and beautiful city. As write I listen
to the ringing of the bells of Shandon,
celebrated in song and story, and
among the oldest chimes in this very
old country.
The coast above referred to is entire
ly treeless. very broken, and rocky, no
cultivated fields nor buildings in sight,
except some old diIapidated towers
which were built at the time of the
threatened invasion by Napoleon, some
time about the beginning ofthe present
century. These towers were built with
the idea of making fires on their tops
and by this means signaling the ap-
proach of the enemy.
AT the entrance to Queenstown bar.
Der is a very fine lighthouse, and two
of the strongest forts in the world. On
either side the hills are honey combe.i
and filled with casemated forts, Artil-
iery of heavy calibre, and all the para
phernalia of war. Just inside is Wedge
Island, in the middle of the harbor.
and on it is another strong fort, aud al
so penitentiary. An old relic lies
peacefully at anchor near the wharf,
the Vengeance. an old-fashioned, three
decker man-of-war. In its palnny days
it carried 240 guns, and fought with
Nelson at Trafalgar.
We are now landed, and for the first
time find myself in the hands of the
customs officers, but I find them very
pleasant gentlemen.
The first striking feature run across
after landing is the plentifulness of
soldiers. And 1t does not tske me long
to learn that Ireland, with three and q
half millions Of people, has forty thous-
and soldiers within her borders. While

One of the very pleasantest entertain.
ments of the season was given last even
ing in Keefe hall by the ladies of the
Presbyterian church. There was a very
fair sized audience present who devoted
the early part of the evening to listening
to a rather elaborate programme which
had been arranged for their entertainment.
The programme was introduced by a So
called crazy march in which all the
participants were dressed in the most
riotously extravaganza fashion. The pan
tonimes by the children were excellentIy
rendered. The singing was a very at
~tractive feature, Miss Gillian rendering a
solo with exquisite expression. The
three little maids from school" Messrs.
Henderson, Ransom and Hicks, gave a
revised version of the Nikado. At the
conclusion of the programme ices and ice
cream were placed at the disposal OF the
audience.

with a beer bottle by one Blanche Pome
roy Her injuries consisted of several
rather severe scalp wounds, which were
dressed by DR.. Hunt. The Pomeroy
woman was lodged in Jail and will prob.
ably be given a hearing this morning.

PITIABLE POVERTY.
A Woman and Four Children Suffer-
Ing for Food.
A Drunken Mother and an Absent
Father the Cause.
Five People WalIOwing in Filth in a
Small Room.

1t is seldom that a newspaper writer in
this city is called upon to chronicle a case
of appalling poverty and genuine destitu-
ton. Such an instance was met by a
LEADER representative yesterday in the
family of one Mac Donald, residing in a
teenth and Sixteenth streets, near Eddy.
Just before the Cheyenne & Northern
train left yesterday morning Officer Deit-
rick observed three small children weep
ing bitterly as they watched a woman
seated in one of the coaches. The police
man inquired the cause of their tears,
when the little ones replied that mama
was going to Denver and leave them. Mr..
Deitrick interviewed the woman and dis
covered that she was suffering from an
attack of delirium tremens, and had
boarded the train with the idea that she
was en- route to Denver. She was asked
to leave the train. but stoutly refused.
saying that she was boupd to leave Chey-
enne. The officer explained to her that
she was not aboard the Denver train, and
asked her if she intended to go away and
leave her children. She replied that the
father of the children would be in from
the country in a few days and would take
care of the young ones"
Observing that the woman was deter
mined to leave. and could not be taken
from the cars except by force, Deitrick
told her that she had better get into a
wagon with him and be taken to the new
Cheyenne q Burlington depot, and start
for Denver from that point. She finally
consented on condition that she be driven
by her house and the rest of her family
secured.
A reporter followed the party to the
house and looked upon a scene the coun-
terpart of which could not be found this
side of the slums of New York. In a
hovel, consisting of one small room, were
two beds, a stove and several other arti
cles of furniture. There was no food
about the premises, and the children were
then crying of hunger, their pinched faces
and ]attenuated frames evidencing that
they had eaten scarcely anything for sew
eral days. The heartless mother seemed
utterly unconscious of the misery which
surrounded her, and when asked why she
was allowing her offspring to starve, re
Piled that she had nothing to feed them.
The room had received no attention for
ZONE time, and the stencil in the neigh
borhood WAS unbearable. 1t was one of
the very few instances where squalor and
abject poverty has ever existed in this
city, and the wants of the suffering fam
lily would undoubtedly have been relieved
had it been known that they were suffer
ing, that four innocent children were
actually starving to death in the heart of
this wealthy and prosperous community.
The entire family were removed to the
county hospital, where the woman will re.
ceive treatment for alcoholism and the
children, who range in age from 8 years
to a few months, will be properly fed and
clothed.
The husband and father of the unfortu-
nate family is said to be an honest and
hard working man, who patiently en-
dures the shortcomings OF his incorporate
wife.

The saloon formerly conducted by Col.
Murrin on Seventeenth street was recently
purchased by Mr.. Cass B%essler, well
known about the CITY. A few days ago
the place was closed TOR repairs. During
the time it has been entirely refurnished,
repapered and painted. and is now the
handsomest resort in the city. The bar is
mahogany, the only one of the kind in
the west, while the remainder OF the fix,
lures are of highly polished birch and
cherry. The place will be reopened this
evening, and Mr.. Bessler invites all his
friends and acquaintance in the city to
call and participate in the general good
time and partake of the magnificent lunch
which will be spread.

THE AMERICAN CATTLE TRUST.
BOW the Greatest Corporation ever Or
ganIzed Will Operate.

Several leading cattlemen of the terri
tory whose headquarters are in this city,
have been invited during the past few
days to join the much talked of American
Cattle Trust company. A number have
signified their intention of entering the
combination, and from one of the latter
a reporter learned last evening the pro-
posed plan of operations to be instituted
by the mammoth combination.
1t is to be a corporation with a capital
stock of $500, 900, 900, one fourth OF
which is paid in, or will be at once. They
propose to transact business on an im
mense scale. The principal Office of
the company will be in New York
City, where Thos. Sturgis, the manager,
will have charge of its affairs. Commits
sion offices will be established in Chicago,
Kansas City. St. Louis and Omaha, and
the cattle market at those points con-
trolled.
All share holders will place their cattle,
which will be carefully counted on the
range, in the hands of the organization,
and receive in return one-fourth cash and
the remainder in stock. 1t is said that
800, 900, 900 in Wyoming capital will be
employed in the business of the company
and that Texas, Montana, Colorado and
New Mexico cattlemen will invest extern
sively. The American Cattle Trust com
pany has more capital than any corpora
ton ever organized. They will pay no
attention to owners of less than 5000
head, though scarcely anyone is debarred
from investing. IF such an immense
business can be advantageously managed
it will result in breaking the power Of the
sharks who control the Chicago and
other great cattle markets.

THE ATTACHMENT Dissolved.
Judge MaginnIs Renders a Decision In
swan Suit.

The swan case, or, more properly
speaking, one ofthe Swan cases, is settled
at last. About ten days ago Swan Bros.
by their attorneys, Donzelman & Miller.
presented a petition to Judge Maginnis
praying that the attachment levied on
their property for the purpose of liquidat-
ing a $25, 900 note held by the First Ma
tional bank, be dissolved. Ex-Chief
Justice Lacey and Willis Vandevanter
represented the banking institution, and
~endeavored to prove that the attachment
should be enforced for the reason hat the
note had been renewed by fraudulent rep
reservations on the part of Swan Bros.
aud Others. Day after day the attorneys
industriously wrangled over technicallegal
points and the admissability OF certain evi-
dence, and was it Thursday night last be-
fore the testimony had been heard and the
arguments made by the opposing attor-
neys, at which time the matter was taken
under Amusement by Judge Maginnis.
Yesterday morning a decision was rem
dered ordering that the attachment be dis
solved aud generating Swan Bros. from
all allegations OF attempted fraud. The
document was quite lengthy, but was con-
else and to the point. Among other in
teresting statements made, the Judge said
there was no fraud intended in the sale of
the Dare and Thos. Swan estates; that the
representations of F. w. Lafrentz con-
corning the business Of Swan Bros. at the
time of the renewal of the note could not
be termed fraudulent; that the assignment
law of Wyoming protected the debtor
particularly; that the fact of the imperfect
Assignment first made by Swan Bros. was
void did not sustain charges of fraud. and
that creditors were not necessarily injured
thereby. Judge Maginnis' decision is
conceded by nearly every lawyer in town
to be a fair and impartial Interpretation
of the law. Twelve days has been speci-
fed as the time in which answers may be
fled in other attachment cases.

Between Two Fires.

During the series of showers a few after
moons since. a Sixteenth street merchant
was observed standing in the door of his
establishment acting ike a maniac. One
minute a l7x24 smile would chase the
wrinkles over his classic features, and the
next instant he would clasp his hands to
his head and give an excellent imitation
of an Apache war whoop.
When asked the cause of his queer &C
tons he replied: Il vas so happy l
don't know what to do because | sell all
dose old umbrellas, and my neuralgia
aches 80 bad l wish l vas dead and he
continued to alternately yell and smile
until a granger came along and tried to
buv a two-bit shirt stud for fifteen cents.
